Water levels in Switzerland

We follow 226 live gauges across Switzerland, spread over 30 cantons. Right now 174 of them read below normal for the time of year, 24 are in their usual range and 5 are running high.

Low water clearly outweighs high water at the moment. Autumn is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns. The biggest rivers on the list include the Aare, Rhine, Rhône and Inn.

Readings come from Bundesamt für Umwelt BAFU, Abteilung Hydrologie and refresh as new data is published.
